Fishing - a relaxing day fishing on our stretch of the River Dropt, where various different species can be caught. Barge Trips - on the River Garonne a beautiful way to see the countryside. Hot Air Ballooning - a wonderful experience. Quad Biking - an exciting time to be had by all. Wine tasting - a must while in the region.

Comments from Owner Guestbook
We had a wonderful holiday at 'Au Mauvais'. The house was glorious, so much room, & everything we wanted was there - you have thought of everything! The children and parents loved the pool. We all had a marvellous time and can thoroughly recommend it..................
We had a lovely holiday in your house, I can honestly say it was the cleanest and most comfortable we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few!). I really wished I could pick the house up and bring it home. Everything was perfect!................
We had a lovely time, thank you. I particularly appreciated things like the nice bed linen, good pans, and smart cooker - maybe I'm just getting old! The girls were very impressed by the video collection. We all appreciated the spaciousness and general standard of comfort. The standard of cleanliness and freshness was excellent too - which really helps make it a holiday!................
